Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

(This fucking song is all personality)

(Hahahah, Dude, that's the shit!)

x2

Verse

Well we've all heard about how the guys in the band

Weren't the popular kids in school And now you hate your parents

'cause of the way you turned out But in the end the blame's on you

And we all sympathize with your torn-apart heart

And your really artistic worldly views

It sells records when you're sad these days It's super cool to be mad these days

I think rock and roll is really funny when it's serious

Chorus

Don't hate us 'cause we're happy Don't hate us 'cause we're beautiful

Don't hate us if we make you smile Or if we go the extra mile

To make someone feel better on a really shitty day

And if you're hearing what I'm saying then

I want to you to say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)

Say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)

x4

Verse

Same Chords as first)

Let's start a movement, let's start it right now

And if you don't know where to start

I can show you I'm your new team captain

Put your left hand over your heart

and repeat after me

( Bass solos )

It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual

It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual

Chris, Gary? You guys wanna join in?

(Yeah, buddy. Sure. Sorry Dude)

It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual

It's perfectly fine to be a happy individual

Very Nice. Very Nice.

Chorus

Same as first)

Don't hate us 'cause we're happy

Don't hate us 'cause you're miserable

Don't hate us if we make you smile

Or if we go the extra mile

To make someone feel better on a really shitty day

And if you're hearing what I'm saying then

I want to hear you say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)

Say, "I'm gay!" (I'm gay!)

( throughout)

That's right, ladies and gentleman!

Pick up the phone

'cause Bowling For Soup is on the line!

And you don't have to be sad anymore!

You don't have to be mad anymore!

We can all join hands and do ring around

the freaking rosie!

In fact, can we can get some "La la"s up in here?

It sells records when you're sad these days

It's super cool to be mad these days

I think rock and roll is really funny

When it's serious

Yo, where my "La la"s at!

La la-la la, la-la la-la

La la la la

La la-la la, la-la la-la

La la la la

La la-la la, la-la la-la

La la la la

La la-la la, la-la la-la

La la la la

La la-la la, la-la la-la
